Tiyanak | Divergent Discs · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Tiyanak" from Divergent Discs is designed as an extremely understable fairway driver, specifically for beginners and players with moderate arm speed. With a speed of 8, it remains controllable while its exceptional turn of -5 makes it the ideal choice for first-distance throws. Particularly in Max Grip and MaxValue plastics, it offers a tacky grip with consistent flight behavior. Unlike classic fairway drivers such as the Leopard or Roadrunner, the Tiyanak exhibits noticeably more aggressive turnover behavior, opening up specific uses for right-turning shots and rollers. In flight, the disc immediately turns right and maintains this line consistently. The high glide of 5 carries it impressive distances despite the strong right turn, while the moderate fade of 1 provides only minimal correction at the end. With low arm speed, it flies gentle S-curves, making it perfect for beginners. With more power, the turnover behavior intensifies—the disc fully flips over and becomes excellent for intentional rollers. This extreme understability makes it unique among fairway drivers and requires deliberate adjustment of release angles. For beginners, the Tiyanak works as a distance disc that enables long throws even with minimal power. Released flat or with slight anhyzer, it effortlessly produces right-turning shots without requiring technically demanding turnover throws. Advanced players use it strategically for extreme anhyzer lines, roller shots, or throws around obstacles where controlled flipping is essential. The high dome enhances glide, while the comfortable rim promotes clean releases. Those looking for a disc for guaranteed right turns or creative rollers will find the Tiyanak to be a specialized tool with a clear purpose.
